This is a good point.

I've tried my best to make sure that I would never have to rely on music as a career. Respect to everyone who does, you guys drive the scene, but I couldn't do it. On one side, it's nice to know that I have (relatively) dependable income, and on the other it's nice to know that music is always recreation, and never "work". I know I can put all of my spare time into the music I love.

It's been a long time coming, but I finally got my degree the other year, and now I'm finally in a job I quite like with flexible working hours, nice people etc. So that's all good.

The downside is after spending a whole day working on a PC, often the last thing I want to do when I get home is fire up Cubase and have a piss around. This is my problem.

That, and convincing my girlfriend I really do need a drum machine.
